Albin and Ignatius Meyer were born near Strasburg, France, the former March 1, 1825, and the latter January 25, 1829. Jacob Meyer, their father, was twice married; by his first marriage there were two children. His second wife, Miss Magdalena Buchs, was the mother of nine children - Albin and Ignatius being two of that number. The last wife died near Strasburg in 1833. In 1838 the father came with the family to this country and located in Seneca County, Ohio, where he continued to reside. He was a hard-working, intelligent man, a good citizen, and a member of the Catholic Church. Albin Meyer was reared on a farm receiving a common-school education. He was united in marriage with Miss Theresa Zonker, a native of Stark County, Ohio, January 10, 1853, who was born April 20, 1838. From this union there are nine children, viz: Elizabeth, Theresa, William, Magdalena, Francis, John, Augustus, Lewis and Agnes. Two years after his marriage, Albin removed to this county and purchased the farm he now owns, which at that time was covered with a dense forest, but he has cleared it and erected upon it comfortable buildings. He began life as a poor boy and is a self-made man. Ignatius Meyer was brought up on a farm, receiving a limited education. From fifteen to eighteen years of age, he worked by the month on a farm. He then began working at carpentering, which together with farming, he has followed all his life. He was married to Miss Mary M. Borck in 1860. She was born in Noble County, Ind. in 1841 and is the daughter of Francis and Anna M. (Weimer) Borck, who settled in this county in 1835. To Ignatius Meyer and wife have been born six children, viz., Mary C., Annie M., Emma, Frank J., Rosa and Ignatius. In 1856 Mr. Meyer came to this county and worked eleven years at his trade; since that time he has been engaged in farming and stock growing. Both the Meyer brothers have made what they now possess by their own exertions. They own nicely improved farms. They are members of the Catholic Church and are Democrats. They liberally contribute to religious and educational enterprises. Allen Twp
